RDLS in the media - ALL REVIEWS HERE
http://www.contactmusic.com/new/home.nsf/albumreview/jamiroquai-rock-dust-light-star


Since forming in 1992 this outfit fronted by Jay Kay have amassed record sales of over 25 million, as well as landing international recognition in the form of 1997's Grammy Award. Having completed their contract with Sony they've now landed on the Mercury roster to present album number eight, due for release November 1 2010.
For a band known for their funk sound the decision to open this record with 'Rock Dust Light Star' is rather strange due to it being somewhat subdued. Kay's smooth vocals are very much intact but a weak hook and unnecessary duration don't make for the best of starts. Thankfully 'White Knuckle Ride' is more familiar, mastering a mood both suited for grooving and chill out sessions, but it is far from being the crossover hit that is usually found on a Jamiroquai album. Unfortunately this moment fails to materialise, instead come the lightweight 'Two Completely Different Things' and the breezy 'Lifeline'. Rather surprisingly the highlight to be found is 'Blue Skies', which is built upon a beautiful melody to create an emotive ballad that avoids becoming overblown. Positioned at the central point of the release, it stands up to be counted unlike the rest of this offering.

buffaloman_R Hello, buffaloman_R

Rolling Eyes Well, the first album review usually is the worst, and when it comes to Contactmusic, theirs shouldn't be taken with than a grain of salt Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes . That site is notorious for 'compartmentalizing' their music reviews without any proper 'musical hindsight' appreciated in their end product. Wink Anyway, with that tripe aside, thanks anyway for the cut n paste Kellte2, and if I didn't properly say it, welcome to JamiroTalk.net and thank you for contributing Wink ! Cheers!

Sincerely,
JamiroFan2000

Thanks, man. Regularly "lurked" since 2002, got the account in 2005, and have felt more compelled to post given the fact that we're finally seeing new material.

I don't anticipate negative reviews for the album; I have just been curious to see what the critical reception will look like. Judging by the reaction felt by the starved fanbase, I am thinking good things.

I disregard a dude who writes a screwed review praising White Knuckle Ride and Blue Skies over the rest of the album, he's out of the picture... By the way, what is that Contactmusic? Never hear about it before, so who cares?

Some good review
http://sputnikmusic.com/review/39908/Jamiroquai-Rock-Dust-Light-Star/

Summary: It's been 5 years since Jamiroquai last put an album out, the 2005’s diverse "Dynamite". Are they still relevant?


The music scene changed much during their long absence and this may cost them a lot. But they have enough skill and diversity for a comeback and making this album a great listen.

The album starts with the title track, “Rock Dust Light Star”, that is somewhat reminiscent to the ”Travelling Without Moving“ era. Overall a nice listen, before moving on the first single and brilliant track White Knuckle Ride, a hi-octane retrospective song on Jay's life(and he's a man who has seen a lot throughout his life: cars, drugs, women, a lot of money, etc). The song has an infectious groove and already has its place up there with Jamiroquai’s dance floor classics like “Cosmic Girl”, “Alright”, “Canned Heat” or “Little L”.

The next song, "Smoke & Mirrors", is another highlight of the album, especially the chorus and the end section where the horns and background singers play along with Jay, who’s singing the song’s key lyric "You want your lover tonight". "All Good In The Hood" and the later "Two Completely Different Things" are nothing new but common Jamiroquai tracks having solid grooves, and it’s the band's experience that makes them sound good and not disposable.

The album's mid-section contains a string of ballad to mid-tempo tracks. "Hurtin’" is a laid back, almost lazy number where Jay's voice gets a bit hoarse and the background gospel-like vocals sound a bit out of place and the whole song builds up slowly, ending like a Sunday preaching with reverend Jay. While the ballad "Blue Skies" isn't the band operating at their peak, "Lifeline" is another great track, beginning with some "King For A Day"-like strings then switching to a lounge sound and to the lovely piano-driven chorus. A definite highlight.

The next couple of songs are more "vintage" Jamiroquai. "She's A Fast Persuader" is more about the instrumental, having a great trumpet solo and a funky bass & percussion breakdown (only with some "Dynamite" style vocoder touches) that harkens back to their first two albums' sound (e.g. Space Cowboy). "Goodbye To My Dancer" is a funkier song (with guitars similar to “Love Foolosophy” only considerably slower) backed up by more prominent bongos rhythms throughout it and “Never Gonna Be Another” is again a slow number, that’s a nice listen, similar to “Everyday” or “Tallulah”.

Album closer "Hey Floyd" is a notable surprise, with a more stripped African influenced drum rhythm & piano in the beginning, before bursting into more common territory on the chorus, then switching to a ska-like hook and back again. Even though it may sound cramped and too much, the track manages to flow smoothly and remain interesting.

Lyrically, throughout the album Jay switches from the typical love themes to the life retrospectives, "White Knuckle Ride" and "Lifeline", but it's the music that guides here really, rather than the words.

Overall, a great comeback album with an interesting diversity that makes you put Good Ol'Jamiroquai back on your playlists.

Highlights – “White Knuckle Ride”, “Lifeline”, “Smoke & Mirrors”, “Hey Floyd”

Just listened to Two Completely Different Things on YOUTUBE and I can say that we really need to make sure that the band knows how much we love this track. We don't want Jay and the boys reading these reviews and going, "Well it looks like we only need to do tracks like White Knuckle Ride, since that is what the critics like". We need to let them know what the fans want, not the critics.

http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/reviews/album-jamiroquai-rock-dust-light-star-mercury-2119264.html

In the five years since Dynamite, electro and dubstep have made significant inroads into the dance-pop mainstream, which leaves an old-school full-band funk exercise like Rock Dust Light Star sounding more than a little dated.

The slippery disco-funk of tracks such as "White Knuckle Ride" and "She's A Fast Persuader" recalls The Bee Gees, while the gospelly backing vocals and swampy guitar licks of "Hurtin'" flash straight back to 1972. Alongside the usual slick soul, the title-track itself is a confused and largely shapeless venture into prog-funk. The anti-drug song "Hey Floyd" makes a better fist of shifting mid-song from funk-pop to reggae, and "All Good In The Hood" features a virtuoso bass part that channels James Jamerson, Bernard Edwards and Larry Graham all at once, but it's a patchy affair overall.

I think those "journalists" hate funky music: so they had quickly listened to few snippets on youtube and had written few lines. I know how few of them work (not all of us obviously)because I used to work on a daily newspaper : reading some press kit or Stay 5 minutes in a gig in order to have some shots and go writing the reviews! The way these fellows wrote the RDLS review sounds like they probably never listen to the album (check the others Jamiroquai Review! Still 3 stars and no others arguments!)It's so pathetic! Check that brilliant comment She's A fast Persuader recalls The Bee Gees! Oh My God! I bound to confess So much incompetence in few lines is very impressive!

Review Music Week
Jamiroquai – Rock Dust Light Star (Mercury)
16:06 | Thursday October 21, 2010

By Charlotte Otter

Rock Dust Light Star is the first release by Jamiroquai since his high-profile move to Mercury last year and, as such, the label is hoping to prove that charismatic frontman Jay Kay still has what it takes to replicate the multiplatinum success of Space Cowboy et al.

In this respect the album does not see him deviate from the jazz-funk style that won him so much success in the Nineties; the slap bass, rousing saxophones and Jay Kay’s trademark slinky vocals are out in force, with only the addition of gospel backing vocals marking musical growth in the band.

Although this extra element does help to give the record a warmth and vitality that was somewhat lost in recent releases, it doesn't quite live up to the excitement or commercial appeal first generated by hits including Virtual Insanity and Space Cowboy.

Only a handful of tracks deliver a glimmer of the chart smashes produced in the band’s heyday – including Only All Good In The Hood and current single White Knuckle Ride, with both tracks brimming with infectious hooks, body popping beats and disco grooves.

Instead, the album is made up of slow-tempo, soulful numbers including Lifeline, Goodbye To My Dancer and Blue Skies, giving the record a more laid back and soulful vibe. This style, inevitably, rests on strong lyrics and vocal performance to win out and although Jay Kay does deliver occasional flashes of his former brilliance the end result, although extremely accomplished, falls somewhat short of the punch it promises to pack.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/reviews/9b28

Jamiroquai have spent their 18-year career occupying an indistinct spot in British music somewhere between almost cool and slightly naff. It has helped Jay Kay (for Jamiroquai, let’s face it, is he, plus an evolving cast of collaborators) become one of those artists whose music seems somehow fashion-proof, because it’s never been in or out of it.

Since their mainstream emergence with number one debut Emergency on Planet Earth back in 1993, the band’s disco-friendly jazz-funk sound has undergone very little makeover, and although Kay’s been somewhat laughably dubbed "the king of funk" in downmarket newspapers and regularly gushed over in upmarket Sunday supplement profiles, he has always been a little too unashamedly successful for music anoraks to embrace unreservedly. It’s easy to sneer at the man’s taste for loose cars and fast women, and smirk cynically when he gets in another tabloid-documented late night scrape; but he is still around not because of his penchant for silly hats or memorable videos, but due to undeniable songwriting ability.

The 12 tracks here are further testament to that talent. The falsetto disco of White Knuckle Ride could as easily have been released in 1980, and Smoke and Mirrors features a honking sax that could just as easily have featured in an M People track or an Average White Band instrumental. Meanwhile, the lyric on the latter concerns someone who "wants your lovin’ tonight" – Kay walks a thin line between the classic and the clichéd, and doesn’t seem too bothered which side he strays onto. Yet if you can leave your prejudices at the door there’s much to enjoy for fans of an unaffected good time under the nearest glitterball.

In fact it’s when he strays from familiar generic territory that he flounders. The Lighthouse Family-style gloop of single Blue Skies sounds limp and drippy, to the point where the words Wet, Wet and Wet spring to mind. Thankfully a slight sag in the middle of this album is made up for with the Blaxploitation dramatics of Hey Floyd and vintage soul smooch of Never Gonna Be Another. They have that vintage feel that makes you swear you’ve heard them before, but you don’t know where. Then you stop asking if it’s okay to like this music, because it’s a guilty pleasure minus the guilt.

Review The Couch Sessions
Album review: Jamiroquai - Rock Dust Light Star

4.0/5

October 29, 2010 | Written by chilloutscene

English space funk masters Jamiroquai are back with an appropriately titled new album “Rock Dust Light Star,” and the formula that has worked for the group for many years continues to deliver on this one.

The highlight of the new album is the uber-catchy “White Knuckle Ride,” which is exactly as billed. The frenetically paced track perfectly encapsulates the Jamiroquai sound with it’s disco-funk beat. I immediately thought of one of their most popular songs “Canned Heat” when I heard it and I think this track will stand the test of time as one of their better songs. “She’s a Fast Persuader” also fits the description as a “classic” Jamiroquai track. It also has an upbeat tempo with some interesting changes throughout as well as Jay Kay’s quick delivered lyrics. An awesome improv sax part is intermingled with Matt Johnson‘s spacey synth, funk guitar, and a plucky bass line to make this sassy track a winner.

A lot of the tracks feature strings and a horn ensemble to help with the 70′s disco funk sound they are so well known for and “Blue Skies” is one of these tracks. It has a soft flowing intro and uses strings and nice choral background. It’s quite a smooth mid-tempo pop jam ballad with Jay Kay’s sharp as ever soulful vocals, while the showtune styled “Lifeline” is a bit of a departure from their normal formula but it is quite a fun track that shows how wonderfully talented the group is. If you are a fan of Jamiroquai’s sound, this one is definitely worth checking out.

Article with interview on Dutch newswebsite Nu.nl

http://www.nu.nl/muziek/2369498/jamiroquai-laat-inspiratie-weer-vloeien.html

in DUTCH: (english translation below via google translate)

Jamiroquai laat inspiratie weer vloeien

AMSTERDAM - Vijf jaar na Dynamite is er een nieuw Jamiroquai-album: Rock Dust Light Star. Frontman Jay Kay stapte bewust uit de mallemolen van optredens, tv-shows en vliegreizen om de inspiratie weer te laten vloeien.

In 1993, een jaar na de oprichting van de Britse jazz-funkband, verscheen debuutalbum Emergency On Planet Earth. Sindsdien is de groep niet meer weg te denken uit de muziekwereld: wereldwijd verkocht Jamiroquai al meer dan 35 miljoen platen.

Met de release van Rock Dust Light Star komt er een einde aan de langste periode van (relatieve) stilte in de bandgeschiedenis.

“Voor mij voelde het niet meer fris”, legt bandleider Jay Kay (40) uit. “In deze business ga je te werk als een schilder. Je creëert iets vanuit niets. Je hebt geen idee wat je moet doen of wat mensen van je willen. Je trekt je terug met een blanco vel papier.”

Inspiratie haalt Jay Kay al lang niet meer uit het toerende leven. “Als je twintig jaar getoerd hebt, wil je op een gegeven moment gewoon naar huis.”

De zanger gelooft dat afzondering zijn muziek ten goede komt. “Je moet er óók een normaal leven op nahouden”, zegt hij. “Als je de deur achter je dichttrekt en de publieke aandacht laat voor wat het is, dan komt de inspiratie vanzelf. Inspiratie blijft uit als je alleen maar hotels ziet, shows speelt en op reis bent.”

Jay Kay kan het weten: hij is al vanaf zijn 23e op pad met Jamiroquai en noemt zichzelf tegen wil een dank een “hotelexpert” – ook het artiestenbestaan kent zijn sleurmomenten. “Na verloop van tijd wordt het eentonig: dezelfde tv-shows, dezelfde promotiepraatjes, dezelfde shows, dezelfde zalen. Op een gegeven moment heb je behoefte aan een pauze.”

Nu Rock Dust Light Star uit is, zal het weer even gedaan zijn met de rust. Bij het maken van albums hanteert Jay Kay al geruime tijd dezelfde regel: songs die op het eerste gehoor niet goed klinken worden direct afgeschoten.

“Het is als het koken van soep: je kunt wel steeds meer ingrediënten blijven toevoegen, maar dan verpest je de smaak. Ik denk dat wij een goede balans gevonden hebben door alleen aan liedjes te werken waarin we denken uit te blinken.”

Minstens tien goede nummers hebben het album wegens ruimtegebrek niet gehaald. Betekent dat dat we snel nog een plaat van Jamiroquai kunnen verwachten? “We zullen eerst maar eens zien hoe deze het doet, maar er komt zeker een volgend album”, aldus Jay Kay. “Het gat zal in ieder geval niet meer zo groot zijn.”


ENGLISH:

Jamiroquai let inspiration flow again

LONDON - Five years after Dynamite is a new Jamiroquai album: Rock Star Light Dust. Frontman Jay Kay deliberately stepped out of the whirlwind of appearances, TV shows and air travel to the inspiration flowing again.

In 1993, one year after the establishment of the British jazz-funk band released debut album, Emergency On Planet Earth. Since then, the group not to imagine the music: Jamiroquai sold worldwide over 35 million records.

With the release of Rock Light Star Dust comes to an end the longest period of (relative) silence in the band history.

"For me it did not feel more refreshed," explains band leader Jay Kay (40) out. "In this business you go to work as a painter. You create something from nothing. You have no idea what to do or what people you want. You pick your back with a blank sheet of paper. "

Jay Kay takes inspiration no longer in the touring life. "If you have toured twenty years, you want at any time to go home."

The singer believes that his music separation benefits. "You should also entertained a normal life," he says. "If you pull the door shut behind you and let the public attention for what it is, then the inspiration itself. Inspiration stays off if you only see hotels, shows, plays and traveling. "

Jay Kay should know: he is starting his 23rd off with Jamiroquai and calls himself against one thanks to a "hotel experts" - including the artist's life has been routine moments. "Over time, the monotony: the same TV shows, talk the same promotion, same shows, same halls. At some point you need a break. "

Now Rock Star Dust Light is off, the weather is just done with the rest. When making albums Jay Kay uses the same rule for some time: at first hearing songs that sound good are not immediately fired.

"It is like cooking soup: you can still keep adding more ingredients, but then you ruin the taste. I think we have a good balance by working only songs which we believe excel. "

At least ten good songs did the album because of lack of space not met. Does that mean we will soon have an album by Jamiroquai expect? "We will first speak to see how they do it, but there is definitely a next album," said Jay Kay. "The gap will in any case not so great."

http://www.stereoboard.com/content/view/162127/9

Stereoboard Album Rating: 7/10

After spending almost 5 years in the music wilderness since the release of 2005 offering, 'Dynamite', Jamiroquai enjoy a welcome reawakening with their 7th studio album, 'Rock Dust Light Star'. Fronted by energetic, big hat wearing Jay Kay, the band triumphantly and effortlessly deliver yet more jazz/funk with a hint of electro in the way only Jamiroquai can.

As on previous albums, funky bass and guitar remain the overriding theme from the outset. It soon becomes clear the self imposed, half decade hiatus has done no harm whatsoever and although their sound has been preserved, it retains a contemporary feel.

Such is Jamiroquai’s varied influences, its little surprise to find a clever coming together of styles in just one tune. ‘Hey Floyd’ displays this. A trademark change is deliberately emphasised by piano and strings which subsequently becomes sandwiched between a Latin American start and reggae-esque middle section. It really shouldn’t work but somehow it does.

ImageAt 41, singer/song writer Jay Kay isn’t getting any younger nor is he musically out of touch by any stretch of the imagination neither. This Experience has enabled him to pen songs about lost love and recollections of better days which make up the vast majority of the album.

From the chilled, spacey ‘Goodbye to my Dancer’ to the buoyant ‘Hurtin’, both depict tales of break-ups. “How the hell did I lose ‘ya?” is the leading line from the latter and I suppose its concept is rather self explanatory. The music itself is a well crafted, rock based track mainly built around sharp electric guitar and classic rock beat. ‘Rock Dust Light Star’ carries on the upbeat tempo offering a typically smooth guitar led track, a killer hook and impressive vocals.

As Jay Kay, says himself... “it’s all good in the hood”

Album review in Dutch Newspaper Leidsch Dagblad (via google translate) on 2 November 2010:

http://www.leidschdagblad.nl/nieuws/cultuur/entertainment/article6550230.ece/Album-van-de-week%3A-Jamiroquai-maakt-comeback

Album of the week: Jamiroquai makes comeback
Reuters | Posted on November 2, 2010, 16:07
Last updated on November 2, 2010, 16:16
AMSTERDAM -
Jamiroquai Friday launched his new album Rock Star Dust Light in an intimate concert at the Amsterdam Paradiso. It is the seventh studio album by British band, which makes the CD a big comeback.

Jamiroquai

The band led by singer Jay Kay was formed in 1992. With the successful debut single When You Gonna Learn the men quickly signed a contract with record label Sony for making eight albums. The group scored big hits in the ensuing years as Space Cowboy, Virtual Insanity and Seven Days in Sunny June.

Jay Kay is known for his strange headgear and extravagant clothing. He was often in the media by his relationships with famous women such as Winona Ryder and Denise van Outen. The singer has no good relationship with the press. Thus he was once sued a photographer after he had beaten together.

In 2001 the band released its fifth album, A Funk Odyssey. After Kay was known that he no longer wanted to make music, because in the media so much criticism of him. In 2005, there was again a new album Dynamite. After a silence of another five years saw Rock Light Star Dust light Friday.

The album

According to The Telegraph, this new album a lot better than the last. Jay Kay, the British newspaper praised especially for his skills as a songwriter. The BBC agrees and cites Kay why the British band after twenty years still in the spotlight: "He's still there, not because of his penchant for silly hats, but because of his undeniable talent as a writer."

Rock Light Star Dust is an album where the solitude of a singer. The sad first single Blue Skies, which he Thursday in The World Keeps Turning to sang, here's an example. Kay wrote the song when he was very difficult. "I dare say now that I actually often feel lonely," said the singer in Metro.

A few uptempo numbers, according to The Couch Sessions nice and cheerful and so well will score his White Knuckle Ride and She's a Fast Persuader. "The perfect frenetic pace of the song represents everything that is Jamiroquai." Script Girl is very positive about the singer: "Just as we're used to this British artist. Only just a little better. "

Striking

After the show in Paradiso Friday there were many angry glances from fans, writes Metro. The concert started well when Jay Kay fifteen minutes early stage emerged, but the 40-year-old singer did not make for great evening. Later he admitted that he was not quite sharp. "It is after all Amsterdam, where I've landed."
